Suspected sockpuppets
Ran a check on Cornelis Dopper after their indef block to see if they were previously blocked (suspicion of other accounts). Found on that check with no other accounts. . Simultaneous use of these two accounts, but not on the same pages. Similar usernames could suggest good faith when creating / using these accounts, but as the master is blocked the other account shouldn't edit anyway (and as such is best to be blocked). Open to opinions on whether to tag either user or whether a CU block on the master too was appropriate (considering AGF). Any CU has my permission to remove tags / remove the CU-block part on the block of the master, and any admin/clerk has permission to remove the tags as they deem appropriate.

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

I found really intriguing when I did the reversion in Baruch Spinoza page after an editor who was warring who is now blocked. There was an edit made by a new user (Boerboel Yzer) which is the very same that was done by the blocked user (Awater01). I checked it and he/she is a new user that created an account like 2 hours ago and has 8 reversions out of a total of 11 edits… something quite weird for a new user and reproduce the vary same behaviour of the blocked user (Awater01).It seems to be sockpuppetry. The suspicious “coincidence”: the “new” editor deleted the word “and”, something that was always there and the only one who made a point in deleting it was the now blocked editor: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baruch_Spinoza&diff=prev&oldid=1158882459 Now there is another user created this morning with same behaviour (G. Trimalchio) PepGuardi (talk) 11:43, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

 * was obvious enough to justify a quick block, and that account was created during the unblock discussion. As the situation is less clear for, please check for other sleepers and possibly block that account during the search. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:36, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, +  is clear enough, given the timing. Blocked both; leaving the investigation open for a sleeper check. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:40, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * is ✅ to who in turn is confirmed to Sockpuppet investigations/Cornelis Dopper/Archive.  is murkier; I don't see a clear connection between that account and the other socks.--  Ponyo bons mots 19:29, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much – I find the timing and the edit similarity strange enough to keep Boerboel Yzer blocked, but perhaps a good explanation comes up later. I'll replace the "checked" status by "clerk assistance requested" regarding tagging of the Cornelis Dopper connection and perhaps merging the investigation pages. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I've merged the cases and retagged the accounts (Awater and Trimalchio as confirmed and Yzer as suspected). Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 15:16, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
